Take my bread away...

In the absence of this thing called money, the mind's performance actually improves to a certain degree. For instance, some people came out with cunning robbery plans. Nope, I'm not thinking of snatching some lady's bag. I'm just wondering how much has the price of things risen lately.

To make a point, I suddenly realized the changes bestowed on one of my (mouth's) favorite pastime; bread. There was a saying that the bread is the common man's food. It is available in abundance, comes in various flavors and guises, goes fine with other food and person and, was cheap. In my heydays (when i was a kid), bread is the food for any occasion on any day. You can survive just by eating those; its the End of Day must have. But sadly today, bread is starting to be something of a commodity. Suddenly, Gardenia is something you rarely see on a poor man's table and Gucci-wielding ladies go to BreadStory.

Okay, i might have exaggerated. But the fact is, prices of daily necessities are ever rising. They make it sound nicer that the economy is fine and its just a couple of cents increase, but they don't tell you that the couple of cents can amass into astronomical numbers when you multiply it by days and years. There is a huge difference between 1.80x365 and 2.10x365, you do the maths. The Bolehland Management (aka Government) always put the poor and needy as a talking issue, but hell, who's going to benefit when a few cents are going to be added to price tags every year? They'll make more poor people out of us!

The reality is, I'm still going to eat bread, drink milo and pour petrol into my vehicle. I'm unwillingly bowing to the capitalists of Bolehland and stick to my part; as a responsible coward of a country I'm fast losing touch with. What to do? Maybe one day I'll reaped enough cash and reputation to convince our southern neighbor to let me stay.

I watched The Simpsons Movie again yesterday and there is a lot of similarities I found out between the movie and my reality. To me, Bolehland is a lot like Homer; resourceful but stupid and ignorant. Like Homer, Bolehland is putting his family (us) in the way of the pig...

no-fark!
